Please don't quote the chump. Dover /Calais important to our international trade? As in 6 f***ing percent of it. Simple, but true...

And, just to back up my post:

I am struck, every time I drive to St. Mary's, the size of the container ships sailing in and out of Southampton. Dover? Give me a break. That tinpot port may be important to our trade with Northern France, but important to our international trade? Give me a break. If we shut Dover down tomorrow, it would only be a disaster to Calais, not the UK.

Jo Cox two years ago, outside a public library... Terrible, terrible event.

What did Trump ever do for (the) us? • Appointed Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh together with more than 75 other constitutionally sound federal judges, 30 of which are serving. • Reinstated an expanded Mexico City Policy blocking foreign aid from being used for abortions. • Cracked down on illegal immigration and “sanctuary cities.” As Attorney General Jeff Sessions put it: “The lawlessness, the abdication of the duty to enforce our laws, and the catch and release policies of the past are over.” • Issued an order killing two federal regulations for every new one. In actuality, 16 were cut for every new one in his first year, saving billions. • Engineered a historic tax cut that will save money for more than 80 percent of American households. • Withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, ending the threat of U.S. governance by international bureaucrats. • Reversed onerous Obama environmental rules that gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ham-handed authority to destroy the coal industry and abrogate landowners’ rights. • Kick-started America’s energy sector by curtailing regulations, facilitating the Keystone XL Pipeline and opening up vast federal areas to oil and gas exploration. • Presided over an economic and stock market boom, lowered unemployment and brought manufacturing jobs back to America from overseas. • Rebuilt the nation’s military, destroyed ISIS and faced down North Korea’s “Rocket Man.” • Issued an order enforcing First Amendment protections for religious liberty. • Restored the freedom of military chaplains to espouse biblical morality, and essentially reversing Mr. Obama’s transgender military policy. • Revoked the Education Department’s order that public schools allow gender-confused males access to girls’ restrooms and locker rooms. • Cracked down on sex trafficking. President Trump signed a law allowing states to move against sex-ad Internet sites, and the Justice Department on April 6 seized and shut down Backpage.com, which carried ads for prostitution, including trafficked children. • Overhauled the mismanaged Veterans Administration and giving veterans more health care choices. • Replaced Obamacare incrementally, beginning with a repeal of the individual mandate. • Imposed sanctions on Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship and revising Mr. Obama’s deals with communist Cuba. • Recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and repairing damage that Mr. Obama did to the U.S.-Israel relationship. • Worked with Central American nations to crack down on MS-13 gangs

Donald Trump....

Thanks to Trump, the Irish are going to have to wave goodbye to the billions they have been stealing from the US government. While the international diplomats at the UN continued to abuse the hospitality and largess of the US and laughed at the countries President, a report by the by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was published. Ed Conway picked up on the story and it is reported in the Times this morning, here. In it he reports: I think the water is going to be a bit choppy for the Irish over the next few years. They'd better start being nice to the UK over Brexit, because they can't rely on their fair weather friends in the EU. Ask Greece. So much for leprechaun economics.

Mate, you don't even read your own posts. You claimed that the Leave campaign were planning to cut taxes on the rich and would have to make cuts to the welfare system. Like I said, you are a total nut job and for that reason you are back on ignore...

An article I said was interesting. Over two years ago I posted my rationale behind the way I voted in the referendum: Still, I think you are a stranger to rational debate and reasoning, so the above will be wasted on you. You seem to be more fixated with male genitalia. Weird...

Mate, you're the tedious troll averaging over 4 posts a day on this site, for the last 10 years. Scary... Feel free argue a position I haven't taken. You're still talking about Norway and I was talking about membership of EFTA. You do realise they are two different things? If they were the same thing, Switzerland, a member of EFTA, would allow freedom of movement, which they don't and unlike Norway they are not a member of the EEA. They have benefits of the single market via a number of bilateral trade treaties, an approach that I think is attractive to the rapidly growing UK economy. Norway model is the same as being a member of EFTA? Explain that one again, chump...

No, they're not different things and never have been: Like I said, a steaming turd of a post from our resident nutter....

The U.K. economy grew at the fastest pace in almost a year between May and July, as construction output rebounded and a heatwave boosted retail sales and the powerhouse services sector. Gross domestic product increased 0.6 percent from the three months through April, the most since August last year, the Office for National Statistics said Monday. That’s more than economists forecast and up from 0.4 percent in the second quarter. Pile in, lads. Surely this can't be right? #economistsforecastswrongshocker

What a steaming turd of a post. It was the biggest pledge of Vote Leave that more money would be spent on UK welfare instead of tax dodging Greeks.

I'm looking for the term Norway below, but can't seem to find it. I do see a proposal that an Oxford professor, George Yarrow is proposing, that is join EFTA, while we negotiate a free trade agreement with the EU....

Great article in the Telegraph today, by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard: Now, where have a read about this great idea before? We could have saved two years of pain if May had been following this thread....

CO2 is a poison and comparable to asbestos? Like I said, you're an idiot...

Jesus Christ Almighty..... 0.04% CO2 in the atmosphere. You're an idiot.

I know exactly what the definition of poor is. I was brought up in poverty until my Dad dragged us out of it...

Yeah, right...yet you posted it on a thread that is about the free trade opportunities that Brexit offers. You and the rest of the traitors have continuously been putting this country down, instead of accepting the democratic decision of the voters and making the best of the opportunities we will have after Brexit. You have the nerve to suggest that your brand of economic astrology has the answers to the future prospects of this country, despite you and your ilk getting most of the forecasts on what will happen, totally wrong. Until you realise that economics is not a science and is little more than a poorly informed social guess at how the herd will react and spend their money, you will be f*** all use in making this country great again. So, if you want to be any use, get behind the country and contribute. If not, f*** off to Italy or Greece and convince them there is no problem with the EU or the euro. They need you far more than the UK does. Oh, and one more thing. Your references about tackle in my face is creeping me out, so for that reason, you are back on ignore, Mr. Weirdo Troll...

France has nothing on Germany, as this article from 2017 shows: ...and Merkel had the nerve to berate Trump for quitting the Paris accord...

Mate, I can't compete with your one-liners: You're the Benny Hill of economics. Mind you, if you want a real laugh, read this recent article from that well known comic, the Daily Telegraph:

So, increased CO2 levels equates to "long term ecological damage". There was me thinking that increased levels of CO2 was good for plants. In fact, I'm thinking of buying one of these for my greenhouse. "Spend billions on trying to reduce CO2 levels from 0.04% down to 0.03%" Absolutely mental...

Well done for completely missing the point of my post and resorting to an ad hominem argument. It had nothing to do with climate change, but everything to do with CO2 emissions and ridiculous policy decisions which have led to power cuts and expensive energy in Australia. I was quite proud of the post below, the point of which was obviously not lost on the US and Australian governments. Sounds like a slam dunk, scientific proof, then and a great reason to spend billions on trying to reduce CO2 levels from 0.04% down to 0.03%... By the way, CO2 is not toxic to humans. Asbestos is, but is took a while for scientists to prove the link between the exposure, (as with the many dock workers, including my father-in-law, who unloaded shedloads of the stuff from ships), and a very slow developing illness. Haven't got a clue what the Association of British Drivers Paper is, you referred to. Maybe it is the one that persuaded Trump to pull out of the Paris accord. Still, keep believing in windmills and solar panels. Take it from me. They are not the answer....

Finally, the ridiculous carbon emission based, global energy policy, as contained in the Paris Accord, has been killed stone dead by the US, China, Germany and now, Australia, as reported here. Hopefully the UK will learn something. Another insane policy that Trump was right about...

Fantastic news and we can only hope!
